20% of UK's critically ill covid patients are unvaccinated pregnant women. This is really scary. Vaccination guidance for pregnant mums was far too slow! stuff.co.nz/national/healt…

Three things to know about interactions in statistical models: (1) scale of y matters; (2) correlated explanatory variables can screw you over; (3) non-linear interactions can be very important! besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

Thanks Marsden Fund, excited to start a 3-year project with Neil Gemmell, Sarah Robertson and MPankhurst understanding how seminal fluid influences female fertility and ageing in mice! Thanks 3 reviewers for the overwhelming positivity -those reports got me through lockdown!

3 year postdoc available at Otago, New Zealand, focusing on how responses to seminal fluid influence female fertility and ageing in mice. Life-history/evolution/biomed focused, with me, Neil Gemmell and Sarah Robertson. Please RT! otago.taleo.net/careersection/…

This is a cool use of epigenetic ageing biomarkers - hibernation suspends epigenetic ageing

Great to have you here, Celine, although I dread to think what I'll look like this time next year!

When it comes to the ecological benefits of invasive species control, mice do matter: predatorfreenz.org/research/do-mi…

Had a brilliant time at Brain Bee yesterday, with the brightest high school minds from New Zealand exploring awesome neuroanatomy with a sheep brain dissection University of Otago! Shout out to BrainSTEM Otago and especially Courteney Westlake for an awesome event! 🎊🌟

Another crazy example of how female health has been ignored. Has crash testing really always been conducted without female-specific dummies? bbc.com/news/technolog…

Congratulations Celine Camon. Amazing presentation as always, can't wait to hear you talk about estrogens and female health next! Echoing thanks to New Zealand Society for Endocrinology and CNE Otago for helping support Celine to attend this conference.

If you're in Dunedin, consider coming along to this talk I am doing about why we age, and why the sexes often have different lifespans. I can't promise all the answers but happy to share what I know!

Amazing research paper showing the genetic evolution of cancer metastases within individuals that's accessible to a non-specialist. Thankful to the patients that allowed this sampling. nature.com/articles/s4158…

Congratulations and amazing work Celine Camon. Thank you for developing this important research. I look forward to seeing you and this project grow, here with us at Otago and beyond!

Thank you GCRLE for this award. Excited to be working with Rebecca Campbell and Greg Anderson on this project, and proud to be part of this group of researchers understanding ovarian ageing and its effects on female health.

New ITP paper shows lifespan extension in male mice with estriol, similar to lifespan-extension with 17 alpha estradiol (but estriol reduces female survival). So treatment with at least two different estrogens is capable of extending male mouse lifespan. link.springer.com/article/10.100…

New out in Nature!! With age, women can lose one X chromosome in their leukocytes. What’s the cause/consequence? How does it differ from the loss of the Y chromosome in men? nature.com/articles/s4158… Broad Institute FinnGen FIMM HelsinkiUni National Cancer Institute Cambridge University

Amazing work Celine, yet again!

Congrats Celine Camon for this great review on loss of estrogen signalling in menopause and ageing. Includes details of how estrogens influence health and ageing in animals plus a critical summary of results from human menopause hormone therapy studies
